Codex Null: Simulation Through Madness
4 (15 ratings)
Synopsis
Noel Cross. A model student. A kind brother. The man every girl once dreamed of.
With his handsome looks and flawless manners, he seemed perfect—at least to most.
But beneath the smile… beneath the pristine facade… lies a bottomless void.
And one fine day, when his smile could’ve finally turned genuine, a message appears—one only he can see.
[Binding with Codex Null: Complete.]
[You have one free simulation available.]
Now, an impossible system lies within his grasp—one that simulates his life, reveals hidden truths, and grants power unimaginable to the former him.
With it, his fragile sense of control finally slips away.
Love that was, in truth, obsession. Possession, teetering on madness.
And a world that feels even more fragile than these women’s insecurities.
Faced with it all, Noel must make a choice:
Keep pretending.
Or embrace the chaos…
And become something far worse than anyone ever imagined.

One of the novels with the greatest potential I've come across recently. The MC and the System are the novel's true strengths: The MC is "broken" in the truest sense of the word. He feels no emotion, and his entire behavior is a mask created by what those around him expect. He could be described as a simp, devoid of pride and anger for how he's treated and how much he's kept in the dark even by the people who claim to love him (both in the "simulations" and in real life) but he doesn't even know what those emotions are. All this until the System comes into play; The System is one of the most OP and balanced I've ever seen. It allows him to "simulate" his future and bring back acquired knowledge and powers. OP, right? However, it all hinges on how the MC "starts" the simulation, that is, with what knowledge and powers, given that the "him" in the simulation will have neither the memories nor the system, but will have to understand that what he's "experiencing" isn't reality. Truly an intriguing idea. The power system and the world are still almost unexplored as the first volume is focusing on the MC regaining his power, emotions and memories. Some of the most successful novels start with a "broken" MC, but in this case, even though the events he "endures" in the simulations are very harsh, the MC isn't affected precisely because of his lack of emotion, and his "detached" behavior isn't a cliche but a logical response. I can't wait to see his "transformation" in both power and behavior when he's complete again, and I hope that, even as he continues/begins to love the heroines, the MC will "slap" them properly for how they behaved before the system arrived and, above all, for how they would have behaved afterward without it.
I truly appreciated your previous work, My ldle System, and have high expectations for this novel as well. It holds great potential, and I sincerely hope it lives up to the standard you've set.
Amazing. It really gave me goosebumps. Well done author and please upload more chapters
I like the book the have potential but the last chapters are a mess of other characters
The book is very captivating and a good read; would do it again Though the „unedited“ chapters — which are copy’s of old ones mostly — are annoying because of the lack of content (unedited after 11d of uploading [99-110(/110)]
kinda boring so far MC pretty much a slave at this point and improvement is slow

While I have read all the current nonprivilaged chapters and very much enjoy the premise and development, there are definitely some things missing. The 10 years of missing memories, while apparent, is kind of just suddenly there. An edit through would only improve this gem. Simple and slow burn, but fast in "simulations." Well put together. Not overly smutty if you are reading for that. Hopefully, the quality continues. 3.5/5. An edit would do wonders to help stabilize several points that are suddenly added into the story, but a fun ride. I don't think the synopsis really gave this novel it's due either. Good rating overall. Well played conflict and positions of power/ not power. It's much better than a lot and good English.

You’ve got this knack for balancing dialogue, tone, and imagery that would translate beautifully into a visual format. I could easily see your characters leaping off the page in a comic or webtoon. Have you ever imagined what your story would look like in panels?
I read all kinds of novels but HOLY FUKCING SHIT this novels SUCKS. First of all, way too much detail for unnecessary things and lots of repetition based of that. Next, volume based of "regaining his memories" just doesn't work here, boring asf with how weak and pathetic he is, at least make it interesting to read if you're going to make him weak for 80+ chaps. Many other things that you can find in other 1 star reviews, overall this shit excuse of a novel sucks.
I usually love novels that are built on the base of simulations but this just feels boring. I can't really put my finger on the reason why though. Maybe someone feels the same and can explain it more clearly or maybe I'm not in the mood for a novel of this type. I'll pause for now and give it another go in the future
To tell you the truth, I don't like making reviews before 100 chapters. Problem is, idk if I'm going to even come back to this story to review it once it gets that many chapters because the shit is too much. I've read some dark shit, but the issue with this story isn't that it's 'dark' in an interesting contemporary way, it's just morbidly dark for no reason. The concept is pretty unique so far as of chapter 30, that's why I gave the world background a 5. MC delves into simulations and within these simulations he can glimpse into the future and gain rewards. ...The problem is, literally every single simulation but one so far has ended with MC getting tortured gruesomely. Author is dedicating multiple chapters to the same shit and it just gets frustrating to read. You see I have the story development at a 1? That's because the story development is literally non-existent. Author dedicates too many chapters to MC just getting randomly tortured mentally/physically and the shit is just way too long and tedious to read. I feel like author is just wasting away a really unique and cool story with needless filler such as torture scenes that last for 4+ chapters. ...OK, Mc got kidnapped by his sister and is losing his sanity... we don't need to read that for the 5th time. If author would make the story less repetitive and the pacing a lot quicker, than I could recommend this. Unfortunately, it seems like author has a strange torture fetish and he will just keeping wasting multiple chapters brutally torturing the MC instead of progressing the story.
